HP INTEGRITY RX3600 - Manual (Page 87)

NOTE: ARP Ping operational issues:
• The PC and the server must be on the same physical subnet.
• When a new server is first booted, DHCP is automatically available (factory-set default);
but ARP Ping does not start for three minutes after the iLO 2 MP is booted. This applies to
every subsequent boot of the iLO 2 MP until an IP address is obtained by DHCP or has been
assigned by using the LC command.
• Upon successfully assigning an IP address using ARP Ping, DHCP is automatically disabled.
There are two methods to use the ARP Ping utility:
1. Connect a PC to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server and run the
ARP Ping commands from the PC.
2. Locate an existing server on the network, log into it, and run the ARP Ping commands from
the server.
Table 3-13 lists the ARP Ping commands.
Table 3-13 ARP Ping Commands
Description ARP Command
This command assigns the IP address to the iLO 2 MP MAC address. This ARP table entry
maps the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN interface to the static IP address designated for
that interface. arp -s
This command tests network connections. It verifies the iLO 2 MP LAN port is configured
with the appropriate IP address. ping
The following procedure explains how to use the ARP Ping utility using a PC that is connected
to the network that is on the same physical subnet as the server.
To configure a static IP address using the ARP Ping utility, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iLO 2 MP MAC address. To set the IP address using ARP, you must know the
MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN. You can find the MAC address of the iLO 2 MP LAN
on a label on the server.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you obtain the MAC address to the iLO 2 MP LAN and not the
MAC address to the server core LAN.
2. Verify that an active LAN cable on the local subnet is connected to the iLO 2 MP LAN port
on the server.
3. Access a PC on the same physical subnet as the server.
4. Open a DOS window on the PC.
5. At the DOS prompt, enter arp -s to assign the IP address to the iLO MAC address.
Syntax
arp -s <IP address you want to assign to the iLO MAC address> <iLO 2 MAC address>
Example from Windows
arp -s 192.0.2.1 00-00-0c-07-ac-00
6. At the DOS prompt, enter ping followed by the IP address to verify that the iLO 2 MP LAN
port is configured with the appropriate IP address. The destination address is the IP address
that is mapped to the iLO MAC address. Perform this task from the PC that has the ARP
table entry.
Syntax
ping <IP address just assigned to the iLO MAC address>
Example from Windows
